[Wikipedia-l] Cross Wikipedia Image copyright

[Giskart]

On the dutch wikipedia I, together whit the others off cource, are looking 
out for possibel copyright violations of images.

There is a system where there is asked permission to the owner of pictures 
and the credit and the permission is included to the picture discription 
page. 

The problem is users are importing pictures from other wikipedias whit a 
note like "from the English wikipedia" or "from the german wikipedia".

And when you look at that image on that wikipedia almost never there is a 
comment about the source of that image.

Also some Wikipedias have a different view about clear copyright 
violations, like this;
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintin


I have to explain to a user of wikipedia NL that the image she has made by 
taking a frame from a televison broadcast not can be used. But it is very 
difficult to inforce a strong copyright policy when the other wikipedias 
are not taking the image copyright more serious.
